Communication techniques for engineers, scientists, and computer specialists
Abstract
“Working alone on an Independent Learning Program can prove to be a lonely experience; it can also take a long time.” That's how Ron Blicq, the principal author of this learning guide, acknowledges what anyone who has ever attempted an independent learning course must surely think about the prospects for actually finishing. This time, however, it will be different; this learning guide was prepared with your loneliness in mind. Stopping just short of making a house call, black bags in hand, Blicq and his associates have gone to a great deal of trouble to give their students a mindset that will make them want to keep going, in spite of all the usual distractions and demands on their time. This is both a comprehensive course in professional communication skills and a carefully thought out independent learning guide.
